Khana Lagur Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Arrests, hysteria and sheer mental disengagement. Deary me. I'll be spending the day in the shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Genuinely never heard of it before yesterday! TV was full of adverts for it last night, utterly ridiculous Pretty disgusting scenes in supermarkets this morning on the news, people rioting, pushing folk out the way, fighting to save a few quid on a TV Consumers greed meets business greed A black day indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie x Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I thought Black Friday (also mad friday) is when all the P/T drinkers go to the pub? 19th December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilScotsman Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I thought Black Friday (also mad friday) is when all the P/T drinkers go to the pub? 19th December. It's a horrible night to be a barman. Office parties, folk who don't buy rounds, folk who can't remember their round, having to refuse folk service 10x more than usual etc etc. None of the bastards tip either.

Fairbairn Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I was in the States for Black Friday about 3 years ago. When I seen all the riots etc on telly I thought to myself "only in America". Apparently not..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheres the pies Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 just seen the bbc news utter carnage across the UK aye-your right you would have thought it was the states see folk fighting over telly's unbelievable just to save a couple quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 This is the continued "Americanisation" of the world by exporting this nonsense. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving - which we don't celebrate. Simple marketing by big chains to get a busy day of shopping in. Another part of American culture we should be resisting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kps022000 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Give it a few years and we will be celebrating thanksgiving. It breaks up the lull in spending between Halloween and Christmas. Love day indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 how thick are folk? the retailers invent this day to encourage folk to queue up, get in a fight all to see who can empty their wallet into the till first. And what is it about big tellys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
